4 Acknowledgement Bairnsdale Regional Health Service acknowledges the Gunaikurnai people as the traditional owners of the land on which the health service is located. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the lands. We pay our respects to elders both past and present and thank them for their contribution to the health service. 4 BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan

5 Introduction Aboriginal people make up more than 3% of the population of the East Gippsland Shire - the local government area served by the Bairnsdale Regional Health Service. The service is located on the traditional lands of the Gunaikurnai people. The Bairnsdale Regional Health Service client area is home to a number of significant Aboriginal organisations: The Gippsland and East Gippsland Aboriginal Cooperative, Lake Tyers Aboriginal Trust, the Moogji Aboriginal Council and the Lakes Entrance Aboriginal Health Association. The Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation is also located in Bairnsdale. BRHS is actively working with the community towards improving the care of its Aboriginal patients and residents whilst increasing training and employment opportunities. BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan 5

6 Demographics BRHS has maintained its commitment towards improving Aboriginal health, employment and training outcomes to Close the Gap in disparity with the non-aboriginal population. In developing and implementing this Plan BRHS recognizes that, in general, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face significant disadvantage compared with the non-aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population in the areas of health; education; employment; and income. This recognition is outlined in the Australian Government Closing the Gap strategy which aims to reduce Indigenous disadvantage with respect to life expectancy, child mortality, access to early childhood education, educational achievement and employment outcomes to achieve Indigenous health equality within 25 years ( ). The Plan seeks to create a more equitable and accessible environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to enter the health workforce. Social and economic benefits, including overall wellbeing, are gained from meaningful training and employment opportunities. These benefits will result in positive influence for the individual employed as well as their family and community. BRHS acknowledges that the challenges faced by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community in gaining skilled and meaningful employment are attributable to significant historical, social, political and economic disadvantage. Related to employment, education and training, national data indicates that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face the following challenges in succeeding academically. Significantly lower literacy and numeracy levels Lower attendance rates at school Low student retention rate Low rates of Year 12 completion These gaps are evident from the first year of schooling and remain apparent throughout the schooling years. In East Gippsland Shire there is a higher proportion of East Gippsland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people leaving school at an early level (Year 10 or less) than the broader East Gippsland population (2011 data). Although steadily improving, Year 12 completion rates in 2011 for East Gippsland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples remain low at 16% compared to: 32% of the overall East Gippsland population and 28% of the overall Victorian Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander population. 2.5% of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has completed a Bachelor degree level or higher, compared with 10% in the overall East Gippsland population (2011). 6 BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan

7 To address these disparities, BRHS is actively working with schools to increase educational aspiration in students towards completing Year 12 and considering a career in health. This work is achieved through BRHS participation in Careers Days, expos and information sessions; traineeship pathways; work experience opportunities; VCAL and VET in School placements; as well as vocational and university student placements and programs. National data indicates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have: Lower rates of employment Higher likelihood of occupying lowerskilled positions. Aboriginal people are generally less likely to gain desirable and skilled employment when compared with non-aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, students and job seekers data reveals an overall unemployment rate of 16% for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the East Gippsland Shire, compared to 6% unemployment in the overall population. A lower proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were in the labour force in 2011: 44%; compared with the total population in East Gippsland Shire: 52%. Workforce Analysis and Collection Application (WACA) reports indicate that BRHS youth employment is below average; 14% of our total workforce is aged 30 years or under compared with 18% employment at comparable health services. The introduction of employment and training initiatives, as well as student engagement activities as a part of the Aboriginal Employment Plan, seek to have a concurrent benefit of increasing youth employment at BRHS through providing appropriate training pathways and career progression. The BRHS Traineeship Program has had a number of significant successes. Seven trainees have successfully achieved on-the-job training and study to complete Certificate III, IV or Diploma levels relevant to their role. Three of our previous trainees are now enrolled, or studying, at a Bachelor level. Our overall rates of job applications and appointments from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community for mainstream positions have increased. Aboriginal people are now employed in a variety of entry-level and highly skilled roles throughout the hospital. BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan 7

8 Aboriginal Employment Plan Objectives BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan achieved a number of significant accomplishments of goals - of which our organisation and Aboriginal employees, past and present, are justifiably proud. BRHS aims to continue its Aboriginal employment programs in improving cultural awareness plus fostering youth employment. BRHS aims to build on the achievements to date so that public health is seen as a viable and attractive work option for the local Aboriginal community. One key objective of the Plan is to increase the employment participation of Aboriginal people from our current rate average of 2% of the total workforce to 4% by This target is based on head count and not full-time equivalent (EFT). Previous Aboriginal Employment Plan Achievements The primary objective of the BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan was to increase the level of employment participation of Aboriginal people to 1% of the total workforce. This target was set by the state government through the Victorian Public Sector Aboriginal Employment Plan Karreeta Yirramboi as well as the Victorian Department of Health Koolin Balit: Aboriginal Health Strategy and associated initiatives. The second objective was to increase knowledge and cultural awareness of the staff at BRHS to allow for greater participation between the health service and the local Aboriginal community. These objectives have been met and the following achievements had been reached by the conclusion of the Aboriginal Employment Plan : Exceeded the 1% Aboriginal employment target with an average of 2% throughout Established a successful and sustainable Aboriginal Traineeship Program (partially funded through the Koolin Balit Workforce Development Grants). Supported 14 Aboriginal traineeships since 2013 in Allied Health Assistance, Dental Assistance, Administration, Enrolled Nursing and Personal Care Attendance. Successful completion of 7 Aboriginal traineeships with the attainment of industry-recognised health qualification and substantial on-thejob training and work experience. Successful trainee transition into the workforce. Of the 7 traineeships completed: 6 of the trainees transitioned to employment at BRHS in their chosen fields and one trainee returned to find employment interstate. As at July trainees remain BRHS employees; one trainee is working at the local Aboriginal Cooperative health service; and one trainee is working in a New South Wales health service. A further 4 individuals, whilst not completing their traineeships, did gain valuable work experience and life skills. Increased number of job applications received from the Aboriginal community for general BRHS vacancies from.7% of all applications in 2013 to 1.8% of applicants in 2014 and 1.7% in Feedback from the training participants that BRHS has improved its profile in the local Aboriginal community as an employer of choice. Improved cultural safety across BRHS with a range of improvements in relation to building aesthetics, staff training, more culturallyappropriate service delivery systems and processes. These improvements align closely with the goals of the Aboriginal Employment Plan and were primarily facilitated through the Lighthouse Project Improving Acute Coronary Syndrome outcomes for Aboriginal patients. Regular media articles showcasing the achievements and events relating to Aboriginal health and employment via the BRHS website and in external media such as press releases. Establishment of an Aboriginal Resource group with delegates from across the health service who meet monthly to promote opportunities and initiatives which champion Aboriginal health, employment and cultural awareness. 8 BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan

9 Continuing Our Work Goals & Initiatives Recruitment and Retention Increase level of Aboriginal Employment at BRHS from the current average rate of 2% to 4% by 2019 (24 32 Aboriginal employees). This target may be subject to change, pending the Karreeta Yirramboi Aboriginal Employment target for all Victorian public health services: expected to be released in late Engage with prospective job and training candidates in the local Aboriginal community, including via job network providers, employment programs and key health organisations, to foster more employment and training opportunities at BRHS. Establish core recurrent funding via BRHS budgeting process to maintain the BRHS Aboriginal Traineeship Program Increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples employment applications to BRHS for mainstream (non-specified positions) as an indication of improved profile of BRHS as an employer of choice. Target of 3 4% of job applications being from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community by 2019 which is in proportion with our population demographic. Monitor and report on the number of Aboriginal staff employed across all levels of the organisation. Further explore options for external funding and schemes to support cadetships, graduate and intern programs for Aboriginal candidates. Professional Development and Training Build supervisor and mentor resource training at BRHS including options for past participants of the trainee program and Aboriginal Resource Group members to be trained. Monitor and liaise with current trained mentors and supervisors to identify potential program development and improvement. Fully develop and embed Cultural Awareness training across BRHS. Career and Succession Planning Support career development and training opportunities of our current Aboriginal workforce by actively disseminating information and promoting scholarships, cadet, intern and graduate program opportunities. Community and Educational Partnerships Develop effective communication channels with key educational stakeholders: including Secondary Schools, Registered Training Organisations and Universities to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples students are made aware of employment and training opportunities. Participate in conferences, workshops, stakeholder meetings and consortiums relevant to Aboriginal training and employment. Supporting our Aboriginal employees and trainees to represent BRHS and their community at conferences and workshops relating to Aboriginal employment, health and training whilst maintaining service delivery. Develop materials promoting the Aboriginal Employment strategies at BRHS for with key community and educational stakeholders as well as the general public. Act as a resource to assist other agencies in the region who wish to focus on increasing their Aboriginal workforce through sharing BRHS experiences and learnings. BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan 9

10 Strategy & Implementation Recruitment and Retention Deliverables Achievements to date: Actions Increase level of Aboriginal Employment at BRHS to 4% by Level of Aboriginal employees exceeded 1% target by 2015, current average is 2% Aboriginal employment. Aboriginal Employment forms an integral part of the BRHS Workforce Capability & Culture Strategy. BRHS awarded Employer of the Year for its Aboriginal traineeship program in Wurreker Award - Public Sector Employer Award Ongoing employment opportunities to be developed and promoted appropriately within the local Aboriginal Community Increase options and pathway opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples students including work experience, traineeships, student placements, cadetship and graduate opportunities Engage with prospective job and training candidates in the local Aboriginal community to foster more employment and training opportunities at BRHS. WCC department has taken a lead role and developed resource knowledge in the collection and distribution of Aboriginal Employment and Training Initiatives and Opportunities. A WCC representative on the BRHS Aboriginal Resource Group has proven to be a valuable information link reducing the risk of duplication and strengthening areas which crossover between Aboriginal employment and other BRHS Aboriginal initiatives. For e.g. cultural awareness programs; improving environments to be more culturally appropriate. Information including vacancies relayed in local news media, online job sites as well as directly via flyers and information to local job network providers, employment programs and key health organisations including local ACCHOs. Establish core recurrent funding via BRHS budgeting process to maintain the BRHS Aboriginal Traineeship Program A separate cost centre was established in 2012 for Aboriginal traineeship initiatives and to fund the salary of a dedicated tutor. The following funding streams have been used to provide additional funds to further the traineeship program: It should be noted, however, that due to restrictions and limitations on funding they may not always be available and are rarely adequate to cover all costs associated. Koolin Balit, Victorian Department of Health Aboriginal Workforce Training Grants Federal Apprenticeship funding Latrobe City Council Indigenous Employment Program support Youth Employment Scheme Job Active Wage subsidies Ad hoc Scholarship Programs Cadetships Proposed dedicated BRHS budget and BRHS allocated funding for Aboriginal Traineeships to ensure program sustainability. Proposed budget and BRHS allocated funding for fixed-term positions offered for up to 12 months post-qualification for successful trainees to consolidate skills and gain work experience at BRHS prior to applying for ongoing roles Continue Traineeship Program to increase Aboriginal and Youth Employment at BRHS BRHS has utilised a number of state and federal funding schemes to support our current traineeships however they do not adequately cover the costs and not all trainees are eligible for some of the funding schemes. Departments are identified which may provide traineeship or apprenticeship opportunities Work areas are considered carefully for a suitable, prepared and supportive environment for traineeships Staff are identified to mentor, train and tutor trainees Traineeship opportunities at BRHS are actively marketed through school, training and job service provider network. More certainty in funding would allow for better planning, application and coordination each year with any ad hoc external funding received seen as a bonus to offset some expenses and provide more opportunity to offer additional cultural training and professional development. Forecast number of trainees or apprentices to be engaged over period of plan, detailing if identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples positions, school based or open. School based traineeships (SBT) provide access to pathways for youth interested in gaining a trade or skill whilst remaining engaged at school and TAFE Further develop relationship with training providers to ensure quality and consistent training delivery and outcomes Apply for funding to continue paid tutor position for Aboriginal trainees 10 BRHS Aboriginal Employment Plan
